Higher Enjoyment in Response to High Intensity Interval Training Versus Moderate Intensity Continuous Exercise
An observational study of Exercise Training, run by California State University, San Marcos.
Trial summary
Previous research is equivocal concerning if high intensity interval training is viewed as more aversive versus moderate exercise. Our data in active men and women showed that interval training is viewed as more enjoyable than higher volume moderate exercise. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Enjoyment Responses to High Intensity Interval Training and Moderate Intensity Continuous Exercise
Previous research is equivocal concerning if high intensity interval training is viewed as more aversive versus moderate exercise. Our data in active men and women showed that interval training is viewed as more enjoyable than higher volume moderate exercise.
Read the detailed description
Twelve men and women who were habitually active initially performed ramp exercise on a cycle ergometer to assess maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and peak power output (PPO), which was used to determine workload for the subsequent 2 bouts. They returned at least 48 h later at the same time of day to complete high intensity interval training (HIIT consisting of repeated 1 min bouts at 85 %PPO) or moderate intensity continuous training (MICT consisting of 25 min at 40 %PPO). During exercise, heart rate, oxygen uptake, perceived exertion, pleasure:displeasure, and blood lactate concentration were continuously assessed. Ten minutes post-exercise, physical activity enjoyment was measured. Data showed that despite higher oxygen uptake, heart rate, blood lactate concentration, and perceived exertion in HIIT, enjoyment was higher in HIIT versus MICT.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Exercise intensityOther
Participants were randomized to 1 or 2 exercise intensities, moderate or high (interval training).
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Active men and women | Healthy, active men and women ages 18-45 yr completed 1 bout of high intensity interval training and moderate intensity continuous training in a randomized, crossover design. Receives: Other: Exercise intensity |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Physical activity enjoyment score (PACES)
This is an 18-item categorical survey used to assess participants' enjoyment of the bout of physical activity that was just completed
Measured: This was measured 10 min post-exercise in all participants during the 3 mo of data collection.
Oxygen uptake
Oxygen uptake (VO2) represents mitochondrial consumption of oxygen to drive cellular metabolism generating ATP to support muscular contraction.
Measured: Measured continuously during exercise during the 3 mo of data collection.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Physical activity enjoyment score (PACES) (time frame: This was measured 10 min post-exercise in all participants during the 3 mo of data collection.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02981667, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
